Cheri's Healing Chicken Noodle Soup

January 19, 2014

When my kids are sick, especially my girls, they request homemade soups, mind you they are grown now; each one wants a different kind. Soups they grew up eating at home! One likes chicken noodle.. I used spaghetti Noodles in this Soup but you can make Noodles if you like the wider homemade variety and have the time. My version has onions, celery and carrots. Do note that this isn't a very brothy-soup. It’s meant to be pretty thick and hearty. My family is very happy with it! After you

What You NEED to make My Chicken Noodle Soup

5 cups of water
5 chicken bullion cubes
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp dried thyme
2.5 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I use the leg quarters sometimes or a whole chicken depending on what's on sale)
1 package (12 oz) spaghetti Noodles(yes that's what I said) or I even make homemade noodles which I will add to my blog
1 cup carrots, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 cup celery, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 cup diced onion(we like lots of onion, it cures illness, I used red onion in this batch)
1 whole Garlic, peeled and chopped(use lots of garlic)
1 large can cream of chicken or mushroom soup

How to Make it: You can make the cooked chicken however you want to. You can even buy a rotisserie chicken from the store. I use either whole chickens or a bag of leg quarters, just depending what's on...
